A wind­screen-clean­ing op­er­a­tion along the San Fer­nan­do By­pass end­ed in court for two men, with one plead­ing guilty to ob­struct­ing traf­fic and the oth­er deny­ing the charges.

Atkin­son Amoroso, 23, of Laven­tille plead­ed guilty to both of­fences when he ap­peared be­fore Se­nior Mag­is­trate Am­i­na De­onar­i­nesingh in the San Fer­nan­do Third Mag­is­trates’ Court yes­ter­day.

He was placed on a 12-month bond to keep the peace, in de­fault of which he will serve three days’ im­pris­on­ment.

Kevon Patrick, 24, of La Ro­maine plead­ed not guilty to both charges. His $1,000 bail was con­tin­ued, and the mat­ter was ad­journed to De­cem­ber 14, 2026.

The two men were ar­rest­ed on Wednes­day near Su­per­Pharm along the San Fer­nan­do By­pass.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice, the ar­rests were made dur­ing a road traf­fic op­er­a­tion in­volv­ing uni­formed of­fi­cers, some of whom were trav­el­ling in an un­marked po­lice ve­hi­cle.

Woman Po­lice Con­sta­ble (WPC) War­rick-Hamil­ton said she saw Amoroso and Patrick clean­ing the wind­screen of a sta­tion­ary red Toy­ota Yaris Cross that was not in­volved in an ac­ci­dent.

She said their ac­tions would have pre­vent­ed the ve­hi­cle from mov­ing for­ward when the traf­fic lights turned green.

Both men al­leged­ly ran when she ap­proached, but she chased and caught them.

Dur­ing the chase, Amoroso told WPC War­rick-Hamil­ton, “Boss, is my first day do­ing this.”

While Patrick al­leged­ly said, “What al­lyuh on, I will call my aunt who is po­lice, and she will sort this out.”

Po­lice seized their clean­ing equip­ment. Amoroso had a black squeegee and a grey buck­et, while Patrick had a red squeegee and a black buck­et.
